Pink Saturday and Saturday in the Garden

Happy PINK Saturday everyone! Well, since everyone is celebrating Christmas in July I thought I would show you a little PINK Christmas! This is my little pink Christmas tree. It sits on top of an old dresser in the foyer. During Christmas it is decorated in all white and gold, with snowflakes and icicles.

     After Christmas I take off all the gold and just leave the white snowflakes and icicles on till Valentine's Day then I switch over to red and pink hearts. But I love decorating this little tree for Easter the best, then it is festooned in little straw baskets and hats, wooden eggs and bunnies and all things Spring! By the time Memorial Day rolls around, this little tree has gone back into the box till Christmas.
     My next little bit of PINK Christmas is this little display in the Sunroom. I love these trees, they are so glittery and festive, I almost wish I could leave them out year round, lol!


The trees are actually pretty tall as you can see in this next picture!

Please stop by and see Ms Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, our host for Pink Saturday!

And now for Saturdays in the Garden which also happens to be PINK
This Disco Belle Hibiscus is planted next to the pond.

I love the flowers, they are so huge as you can see from the yardstick!

Have a wonderful weekend and stay cool! They are predicting the heat index will be 110 here this weekend!

  5. Hi,

    Happy Pink Christmas Saturday! I love the idea of your pink tree being decorated thru out the year. What fun! I lived in Australia for a while and there was a little town outside of Sidney that celebrated Christmas in July. The whole town participated. It was just so amazing to drive and see all the ornaments in the streets and in stores and restaurants. My children were 3 and 5 then and it really confused them LOL. Thanks for sharing.

  9. The pink tree..reminds me of the real pink tree that my mom had flocked when I was 4..it was all the rage to have a colored tree.
    May I ask where you found your darling tree?

    I love those kind of Hibiscus..down here in the south..they flourish soooo well!!

  17. For Cindy and others that might be wondering, I bought the little pink tree at Kohls about 3 years ago, however; they usually have them every year so keep your eyes peeled!
    The Pink and Green sparkly trees I bought at Marshalls the year before last and they had them again last year too. Hope this helps, hugs Nan

  23. Thank you for visiting me on Pink Saturday. Here it is Monday evening, and I'm still making the Pink Saturday rounds. (I had a bad computer virus Sunday, so I didn't get a chance to visit until today).

    I love your trees. My favorite color combination is pink, green, and white, so those are right up my alley.

    Have a lovely week,
